Clicking Noise and not Recognized by Computer -

Dear Sir/Maam,
Hello, I have a Hitachi Travelstar Model: 7K320-320gb 7200RPM Dated FEB-09 HTS723232L9A360 P/N: 0A57547 MLC: DA2459 S/N: NEGRGVRC that was in my Windows Vista Hp Laptop. When I try to start up. The hard drive starts clicking and then the computer says "boot error" and doesn't recognize that there is a hard drive plugged in. When I connect it through external usb connector the drive runs with clicking noise without being recognized in the computer risorse system.What can I do? How can I fix this and get the data from the hard drive? Thanking you, have a nice day.

Thanking you for your patience & assistance, I definetly wanna give it a try to gain some practical experience....and also that I have lot of personal and private data on the hard drive...so I abstain from taking it to some professional data recovery center, have a nice day :)
 


professional recovery centers are quite serious about privacy. you data would be perfectly safe. the problem is it tends to be quite expensive to recover data.

thnxs to all who took interest in this problem of my hitachi tavelstar 7K320-320gb hard drive...as i wrote earlier the drive functioned successfully untill i tried to recover one of the word accidently deleted files by using a data recovery software....mmh....wish I didn't do so...well anyway the drive is still running but failing to be recognized by computer....seems like the software has blocked it in one sector...resulting it to click to & fro.....
